A Dementia Friendly Community is informed, safe, and respectful and enables people living with Alzheimer’s Disease or other dementias, and those who care about them, to live full and engaged lives in our communities.

A Dementia Friendly Community is one where all people can live, age, and thrive, including those living with dementia and their care-partners. Every member of the community understands their role and works together to create a culture that helps ensure people who are memory challenged can live independently for as long as possible.Una comunidad amistosa de la demencia es una donde todas las personas pueden vivir, envejecer y prosperar, incluyendo aquellos que viven con demencia y sus auxiliares de cuidados. Cada miembro de la comunidad entiende su papel y trabaja en conjunto para crear una cultura que ayuda a asegurarse de que las personas con problemas de memoria puedan vivir independientemente durante el mayor tiempo posible.
